delayed ankle pain?

[liamg88]

Today in kickboxing, we were doing some 'frog hops' and the sort during our warm-up. At some stage I felt a sharp pain in my left ankle, on the outer side - though I don't *think* I rolled it, so to speak. I limped around for the next few seconds, but from then on, it was fine. I didn't even think about it for the next 90 minutes of class.

I did over 100 kicks with my right leg (meaning my left injured foot supported my whole body and pivoted on the ball of my foot as this occurred)

Not an ounce of pain. I even did extra stuff after class.


Then, about two hours later, or more? A pain set in. I would characterise it as quite severe. It started off dull and escalated. I can't put weight on my foot or rotate it much. I iced it. that seemed to make it worse? It actually ached a lot when I wasn't even moving it.

However, once slightly warmed up, it seems to improve a bit.


Could this be a sprain? A torn ligament? What sort of problem could have such a delay? I was training on it HARD for over an hour after it occurred.

This really sucks for me as I will miss work tomorrow and desperately need the money, plus I may have a physio bill to pay if things are bad.....


Any help is greatly appreciated,

regards,
Liam



Edit: I've had some aspirin as well as elevated my ankle. I have ceased using ice. Also. My ankle becomes walk-on-able with the help of some paracetemol. It seems effective in dealing with the pain.
